Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups confectioners' sugar , divided
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.67 cups butter , softened
• 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
• 0.25 cups ice water
• 0.75 cups prepared mincemeat pie filling
• 1 large egg , beaten

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2 Sift flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in orange zest. Sprinkle with ice water and gather dough into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out approximately 18 (3-inch) diameter circles, and 18 (2-inch) circles, re-rolling dough as needed.
3. 3 Line muffin cups or mini tart tins using the 3-inch pastry circles. Fill each pastry cup with about 1 tablespoon of mincemeat filling. Top with 2-inch pastry circles, pinching circles together to seal the edges. Brush the top of each pie with egg.
4. 4 Bake pies in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks. Dust with remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar just before serving.
